Course Purpose
Upon completion of this course, you should be able to demonstrate fundamental motion control concepts common to all Rockwell Automation motion control systems.
This course is designed to provide you with an understanding of the concepts, terminology, functionality and applications of motion control. This course will also allow you to establish the foundation you need before learning the skills necessary to maintain and program motion control systems.
This course does not address motion control system design or specific motion control software programming. If you are seeking training in these areas, you should enroll in the relevant Rockwell Automation training courses, making sure you have fulfilled the prerequisites for those courses prior to enrollment.
